Frustrated Arjun came downstairs holding a blue tie in his hand. Arohi was having her breakfast sitting on dining table. He looked at clock and it said 10:45 am. He shook his head at her lateness and looked around for Dolly.
"Dolly u know how to tie the knot?" He spoke showing her the tie in his hand.
She shook her head in denial making him groan. His stylist very well know about all the things that needs to be done but this time it was his assistant who had made arrangements and missed this simple thing. He had to go for a formal event and it would look so indisciplined of him if he went their without a tie.
"Captain, u don't know how to tie the knot" she chuckled and walked towards him cleaning her hands "give it to me I know how to do it" she snatched the tie from his hand and rounded it around her neck. He watched as she twisted her hands in weird manner n tied the knot
"Here" she gave it to him.
Arjun wore it but there was a problem. Arohi tied the knot according to her length which was quite short for him.
"Uh-oh!" She exclaimed and undid the tie. Stepping closer she started tie-ing the knot keeping it in his neck only so she could estimate the length correctly this time.
Her face was very close to his. He could see a faint mole below her lips. While he was busy observing her gestures she continued her work. A harsh cough released from his mouth as she tightened tie around his neck. He loosened it a bit and glared at her who was smirking at him mischievously.
He took a step to give her the piece of mind but she sprinted towards door shouting that she was getting late for college.
If he himself was not getting late he would have surely chased her. But since he was getting late he too left shortly after her.
After that little fiasco at her college they had again fallen into their comfortable routine. It wasn't like they had become best of friends or even friends for that matter, just tolerable of each other's presence.
He remembered getting call from her college that day and he was genuinely worried that something has happened to her in college. He had noticed that she can be little clumsy at times so he naturally thought she had hurt himself. And she did was hurt but not just in the way he expected.
She looked so pale when he found her. She tried to hide it but her eyes gave it away. He couldn't stand the thought of her crying. She was trembling while narrating the incident and all he wanted to do pull her in his arms and hold her till she calmed down but he restricted his unusual feeling and concentrated on problem. She was literally freaked out by the idea of getting suspended. He smirked realizing how serious she is about her studies. He was sure she would be one of those girls that cry even when they score 99.
God! He rubbed his face blowing out air from his lungs. What this girl had done to him? Why is he thinking so much about her? That day too he got overworked when she talked with that friend of hers ignoring him! He needs to get hold of himself. Because all this is very creepy and weird!
He reached the venue on time. He was supposed there for a meeting of his foundation that helped underprivileged children to grow in better environment and work towards having a happy life ahead. He was meeting board members of very reputed School in order to colab with his organization so that students can get best education.
It was for nth time Arjun had the urge to roll his eyes but he controlled himself. In meeting the officials were talking about everything except contract. He looked at his side and this good looking lady was sitting beside him. And she had been giving him sly smiles ever since the start of meeting. He passed her a fake smile and tried to divert the meeting to it's agenda.
"Let's have lunch break" the head announced leaving Arjun gaping at him. They had finally come to notice and now they want break! The conference room was emptied in blink of seconds as everybody rushed to have lunch. He took a deep breath and stood up to leave when someone held his arm.
"Hey" it was the same girl.
He gave a curt nod with a small fake smile. He removed her hand but she came and stood in front of her "I am Riya, very big fan of you"He kept his hand on chest and spoke "really honoured Miss Riya"
Riya flashed him a very sugary sweet smile "so what are you doing after?" She asked giving him a sly smile "by the way I am staying in same hotel" her tone was suggestive. It didn't take rocket science for Arjun to understand her motives. This girl was actually hot and good looking. If it had happen before his marriage he might have accepted the offer but now that he was married though he and Arohi are least bit of married couple, he couldn't do it. More like he didn't want to do it. When he married he was very clear that he and Arohi won't be sharing any such proximity so he had kept his external sources open but never in the whole duration of this month long marriage he gave a thought to it. It all didn't feel right or at all appealing. Even now when a beautiful girl was giving him all sort of signals he wasn't affected by her a bit. She looked really unattractive to him.
"I would be spending time with my wife once I am free from here" he politely smiled rejecting her advances. Excusing himself he went outside to have lunch with other board members.
In a short span of time Arohi really have messed with all his plans.

"Good Morning, Captain!" Arjun looked up from newspaper as she sat down on dining table. Her hair were totally messy and it looked like she came down straight after waking up .
"Please tell me u have at least brushed your teeth" he snickered.
Arohi rolled her eyes "not everyone is like you Captain" she yawned and turned her plate so that Dolly can serve heavenly pancakes she was making.
He shook his head and emersed again in newspaper. From corner of his eyes he noticed her ravishingly eating pancakes. She looked like a little baby while enjoying her food. Before he knew a smile formed on his lips. Though she was looking no less than a rugrat at that moment but that creepy nagging feeling emerged somewhere in his heart. He frowned at it and shook himself. It was all happening maybe because of disturbance in his diet. He is eating outside a lot and that's something is wrong with him.
He gave one last look to Arohi and rushed to his room. He was definitely not well.
In order to divert his mind from all the useless thinking he went to play some games in gaming room but there also Arohi was already present.
"Hi" she said without looking at him. "Wanna join?"
"No" he turned to leave but Arohi stopped him.
She giggled "afraid that I'll kick your ass"
Arjun rolled his eyes and sat beside her "that was your lucky day"
"Prove it" she winked as they set up a new round of game.
Three games later with Arohi winning two of them Arjun realized two things: 1. There was really something wrong with his body as the creepy feelings were making him sick and
